Warren Ellis reveals VARGR's "cold open"

Writer Warren Ellis has revealed that his new James Bond graphic novel VARGR will have a "cold open" featuring a duel in a building outside Helsinki. The writer told BBC Radio 5:

"I didn't want to be influenced by the films," said Ellis. "The one thing I couldn't stop myself doing was the famous Bond cold open. I had to do a Bond cold open, I just couldn't stop myself and they let me get away with it."

VARGR will be a six-issue story arc written by Ellis with art by Jason Masters. It will be the first installment of the new "James Bond 007" comic book series from Dynamite. The first issue will be released in November.
